A component of our on-site USPS office is the MERLIN barcode verification system. “MERLIN” (Mailing Evaluation Readability Lookup Instrument) refers to the piece of equipment used by the USPS to automate the process of the physical verification of mail. It verifies the readability of barcodes and confirms that barcodes are prepared properly and that the correct postage is being used. United Printing & Mailing is one of only a few facilities in Arizona certified by the USPS for outside verification of mail using MERLIN. The USPS requests that all mailings of more than 10,000 pieces be verified using the MERLIN device. Additionally, spot-checks are performed on mailings less than 10,000 pieces. Having MERLIN on-site allows us to bypass the need for verification upon delivery to the US Post Office.
